Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on January 22, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Hashem Beikzadeh! The legendary left-back who defended Esteghlal's honor with style and flair, helping secure Iran Pro League titles in 2009 and 2013. Your tackles were as precise as your birthday candles—always perfectly timed!

Since debuting for the Iranian national team back in 2006, you've shown us that age is just a number—but trophies are forever. May your celebrations today be smoother than your defensive moves on the pitch, and may you always stay younger at heart than the forwards you frustrated for years. Cheers to another year of greatness and hilarious football memories!
